Title: Controlling vibration in an internal combustion engine when the engine passes through a low speed resonance speed range
Inventor: PEINEMANN BERND
IPC: F02N99/00
Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: A drive system for a vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine, a power train, a vibration damper and a controller. During a starting phase the controller prevents combustion until the rotational speed of the engine exceeds a resonance speed range in which excitation of sympathetic vibrations of the vibration damper is expected. During normal operation the controller reduces power output if the rotational speed of the engine falls below a threshold value; the threshold valve being higher than the resonance speed range. During a stopping phase the controller prevents generation of torque from the engine and an excitation preventer provides at least partial prevention of vibration excitation of the vibration damper. The controller acts on engine system, for example fuel supply, engine throttle, inlet/outlet valves including a decompression valve and ignition. The controller may cut power to some or all cylinders of the engine.
